About the work
Like Kinsbergen before him, Céphas was commissioned by the Archaeological Society in Yogyakarta to photograph the excavations and remains of ancient temples. This shot focuses on two of the enormous temple guards that even now keep watch over the four main entrances
of the Buddhist temple of Candi Sewu.
